Smith, 48, has proposed that any cat not under its owner's direct control, or not wearing a collar, should be considered fair game for any hunter with a small-game license. He wants to see the state reclassify free-roaming cats as an unprotected species, arguing that the ones out in the wild are no different than other invasive species.

Smith said his proposal was prompted by cats prowling around the bird feeder at his home.

Maybe he wouldn't have a cat problem if there weren't so many disgusting birds all over the place. Pigeons are rats with wings, and crows are even worse. Beyond merely hunting them, I think there should be a bounty for crows and pigeons, and the people who purposefully feed them should be forced to pay it.
